If you happen to play Phobos: A Galaxy Jones Story, could you do me a favor and either post your score here or DM it to me? For research purposes. I will not judge you.

Nice hook! You’ve got me curious about the game.

Playing this game this weekend! My cryptography skills are a bit weak AND I’m also curious to see what ChatGPT would do with this language you’ve built to help me through if I get stuck. As a designer, I have so many questions about those characters.

I’ve spent an hour on this and scored 2 of 11 so far… not great, but I can learn from it.

I have 3 points,
and in brute forcing the red door, I have blasted through 200 countdowns if that is any sense of time for you!

I hit the time limit and I’m at 9 of 11? I suspect one of them might be to save the guard somehow? but no idea about the other.
Edit: Oh wait, I found them. can’t save the dead guy, but…

Looks like I got 8/11 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I-_eqf5l_I6UFjMLU03qzSIA9c-wswyp/view?usp=sharing)

8 out of 11 for me. I smashed the blue door so that didn’t help.

I’ve been farting around with the door buttons and not getting anywhere. I smashed almost all the doors because I couldn’t find any clues (although I accidentally got the locker but I don’t know why it worked). Is there a clue somewhere for what the color scheme of buttons should be? Like, for the purple door, should half be blue and half be red? Before I spend many many turns trying to figure out how to do that, is that what I want?

I honestly thought while I was writing the game, “Amanda’s going to hate these puzzles.”

For the three of them: locker, the red door, and the yellow door you’re trying to flip all the lights blue. The others are different kinds of puzzles, and you’re cold on the purple door. Can you read the documents that you’ve found yet?

Ouch. I don’t hate them. But I do start getting some tunnel vision for sure. Purple, red, blue. Eureka!
Oh, that’s why it worked on the locker. I was just pressing buttons and it opened.
Ya, I got it. I was convinced that the colors were a clue and went down all sorts of rabbit holes with that instead of re-reading my documents. I swear, I’m the worst (best?) at getting fixated on something as a solution and not wavering from it. It’s a curse.

I gave it my all and managed an 11 somehow!
For a little while in the late game I was stuck trying to do something which turned out to be misguided… but while messing around I managed to get the last 2 points by accomplishing something very similar to what I originally set out to do!
Great game with some very interesting mechanics and plot points—I felt intimidated at first, but ended up really enjoying myself once I got the hang of it!

9/11!
Edit: (I just realized how awkward this post is out of context)

I got 8! I see where the other three were, though: saving the henchmen, and not punching through one of the doors. (I got impatient with the puzzle to get into the commander’s quarters.)

Not exactly what the thread is for, but I figured I might as well ask here: I’m stuck in the middle of the game, with the blue door and the purple door. I assume the blue door is a password of sorts where you have to get the characters in the right order while the purple door is a five-character code, but I am not sure how to figure out either of those things.
I’ve reread all the documents (manual, notebook, and diary) but nothing leaps out at me—there are no numbers, and the untranslated proper nouns generally either aren’t the right length or have repeated characters.
Edit: Never mind about the purple door, as I smashed the blue door and found a document that tells you what the code is, but I’d still like to know how I was supposed to get the blue door open.

The characters are Siriusian digits, which you can see from taking the helmet off and on again repeatedly and observing the countdown. Put the characters in 1-9 order.

It took me a few times to get all 11 points. I got 8 the first time, then 9. I used this topic to see what I missed to get 11.

This was what I thought I was supposed to do, but I thought I was meant to translate the digits using the purple door, which seems to have buttons numbered 1-16. Which almost works, but one of the digits on the blue door seems to be out of place?
I got 8/11, after punching through the blue door (like everybody else, it seems). I can’t work out from this thread whether the remaining two points are for finding a way to save the guard or for something else …

Not saving the guard, but in increasing spoilery-ness the other two points are later on in the game and if you’re thinking about saving the guard you’re warm and specifically you can save the other two.
